RoamAD Most Cost-Effective Metro Wi-Fi Solution
Licensed Australian Carrier aCure Technology Achieved a 100% Return on Its Investment in a RoamAD Citywide Wi-Fi Network After Just 9 Months of Operation
San Francisco, CA-/March 6, 2006 - Wi-Fi Technology News/-RoamAD, the leading supplier of carrier-grade wireless networking software for citywide Wi-Fi networks, today announced that one of its customers, aCure Technology, which operates the Perth metromesh network, has achieved network payback after just nine months of operation.
"We are very pleased with our business success so far," said Glenn Farrow, managing director, metromesh. "By using RoamAD's solution and architecture we saved at least 60% on our up front costs when compared to alternative solutions from other vendors. RoamAD's solution is highly functional and extremely flexible, the architecture is scalable, and most importantly, RoamAD's solution is the most cost-effective available today," he added.
metromesh has been commercially operating a RoamAD based citywide Wi-Fi network in Perth, Australia since May 2005. metromesh used RoamAD's wireless networking software platform and infrastructure-mesh network architecture to cloak more than 20 blocks of downtown Perth with 3-dimentional Wi-Fi coverage.
"RoamAD is delighted to congratulate metromesh on achieving this significant milestone so quickly," said Martyn Levy, CEO, RoamAD. "This is proof of the profitability of citywide Wi-Fi networks and is an absolute endorsement of RoamAD's solution, technology and business model," he added.
Yankee Group's Vice President of Wireless/Mobile Technologies, Dr Phillip Marshall agrees. "RoamAD's solution enables cost-effective citywide Wi-Fi. By unbundling its software platform from the multi-radio node hardware, RoamAD allows network owners to take advantage of the fact that many Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi node components have commoditized. RoamAD can therefore concentrate on continuing to deliver a highly-flexible, remotely-upgradeable software platform, while its customers and partners take care of the hardware," he said.
The solution's network edge intelligence, fast hand-off characteristics, intelligent routing technologies and scalable infrastructure-mesh network architecture, make it ideal for applications such as mobile VoIP/VoWiFi as well as mobile data.
